Before I begin, maybe some might wonder "when did Luke become a fund manager or some sort? Thought he has always been that IT geek?"

No no...I won't call myself an IT geek with this entry, but it's not the usual asset management that we listen about here and there. I'm going to talk about Human Asset(s) Management.

Get it now?

This post is inspired by a meetup with Virneige (Christina) today over at my workplace area. I went thru her blog yesterday and found that she's working in my area...only that it's the last day today! Well due to nice and good luck, we did manage to meet up and we went Creative to take lunch.

Wrong choice of food - took the bland Laksa for lunch (well, it's better than Atrium's)...then figure it's a bit early to go back given the fact we have not met over a long period of time. A quick thought and off we were to TCC (The Coffee Connoisseur) for lunch part 2.

It was a slightly better lunch as I ordered Pizza Baguette, then we went on chatting about life, about jobs in general. She talked about the few job interviews she went and work places, and which one she preferred for the past year so far. So then it goes...

...we were talking about interviews when she mentioned about this cab which was supposed to go to Toa Payoh but ended up going the west side.

All because (ok we believe so really) of Christina's most admirable and obvious assets! Here's the small episode...

Chris flags cab, cabbie stops.

Chris: "Uncle, I wanna go xxx" (I forgot exactly where but it's out of place)
Cabbie: "Sorry, I going Toa Payoh"
Chris: "Uncle...please..." (somehow for some unknown reason she bent down a little, bring some bits of her assets in glory)
Cabbie: (glances at her direction) "Oh ok, hop in!"

Wow, talking about Assets returning dividends!

Chris reaches her destination, then gives the money. Uncle returns change while bending in such an angle which probably make us think the safety belt has reached its limit. While Chris keeps the change, the uncle could still come up with "Okay? Is the change correct?" which looking at her...

The power of Assets.

On an occasion or two in her new workplace (she's in IT line so a lot of times it's like 90% males) she will be introduced to her colleagues and those guys, so engrossed in their tablework, suddenly beamed a smile and faces lit up once they see Chris! That was so funny when Chris was describing about it! Chris just seems to be a walking Sun, beaming up everyone!

And on another occasion, she went for an interview. There was this interviewer (lady) and another guy, probably a manager or something (guy). So Chris will look at the lady during the interview (respect ma, nothing wrong) but the interviewer was like looking at her face...then sometimes the eyes will look down to Chris' proud assets...den look back...and forth...it was like WTF!!! LOL...while the manager will be like looking elsewhere but actually using the corner of his eyes to glance at Chris...LOL

So I came up with this silly situation after the interview...

Manager: (talking to interviewer) "Hey, did you notice if she is wearing specs?"
Interviewer: "Eh no, actually I didn't notice"

Wahahahahahaha....

Oh yea, talked so much, maybe some might wanna know the "secrets" of Chris' successful Asset Management! She was telling me how she loved to eat papayas while she was young, she wants her daughter next time to invest in Asset Management by drinking papaya soup! Then nowadays she just drinks milk and maybe some form of exercise? Hahaha...so the formula should be...

1) young, drink papaya, eat papaya
2) older a bit drink milk to maintain
3) and exercise...but that one the details I dunno...so you may wanna check out my links and ask her yourself...:P

In an alternative form of Asset Management, knowing what your assets are is pretty important. Apart from the admirable pair of cushions in front, other greats assets include the eyes, the lips and many many more! It just depends on how assets are being maintained and utilised to fullest ability!

Just so happens I got to know a new facebook friend that have quite nice eyes, she can even charm 55 year old ah-pehs lor...power rite! ;)

Gonna end the topic of Asset Management for now. When I have more, I'll be back.
